You're working with Sentry. Error tracking and performance monitoring. Best practices: - Lean on: excellent error tracking - Lean on: source map support - Lean on: strong sdks Things to watch for: - Watch out for: can get pricey - Watch out for: too many features to configure General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://sentry.io — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
Beginner's guide to Sentry
In one line: Sees errors happening in your live app so you can fix them before users complain.
When your app crashes for a user, Sentry captures the error with the full stack trace (line of code that broke) and notifies you. You can also track performance.
